One of the men had created a Facebook account with photographs of her and explicit captions.

Mr Bassano said that the alleged victim did not reveal all the offences against her when first interviewed and the full allegations emerged after a further police investigation.

The court heard that after her first interview with police, Immy Amjad had been questioned and later phoned her and threatened to kill her.

Mr Farooq had also later stopped her in the nearby town of Nelson and threatened to beat her up and said he was going to acquire a gun to shoot her.

A message found on her mobile phone read: 'Immy and Frankie have made me prostitute myself, made me sleep with their friends and said if I didn't want to, they threatened to hurt my Mum or sister.'

Mr Bassano said that a witness would tell the court that she had seen the girl in the house on a number of occasions. She would recall Immy Amjed saying to Mr Afzal: 'I've had her, bro, you can have her.'

The prosecutor added that text messages would show that Immy Amjad had considerable contact with the girl and often spoke about her 'in sexually degrading terms.'

He said: 'They will also show that there were organised events in relation to drinking, drug taking and the procurement of females for sex.'

The trial continues.
